Maybe it's just how the car is sitting?
I'll have to take a picture of mine, they're the same European design, but they are level where you're talking about.

marc- unless your headlights were intended to be used in europe, they are not the same e-code beam pattern. i know they have little mini slants but its not the same... they are made to abide by the DOT codes set forth for the US. my lights have a great pattern, but are technially not legal in the US because they were made for the eurupean market. just wanted to clarify that...
and i'm really not sure about the slant... maybe they figure the lowest point is about where oncoming traffic lies and farther to the left is more off to the side of the road so it gradually raises to illuminate a bit more over there. just a guess, i have no idea...
bryan
p.s. my mommy has a Lexus ES330 and it has some awesome projector HIDs... they are perfectly flat all the way across... its interesting to compare mine to hers. I should take photos comparing the pattern and brightness of hers and mine but it might be a little upsetting for me though

Yeah, I simply meant that they have the same __/¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ design. It may be slightly less exaggerated, but it's pretty close.

I just ordered some EDM Headlights and I want to put HID's in them. Do you know the size of the low-beam light, so that I can order my HID's and have them in around the same time?

yeah i wish i had a white wall to do this on, would be better for the color, but those bricks were like a light tan color. and yeah that light cutoff is pretty sick.

and tomboy... the lights are H1s... i think wkderf might have a set for sale cheap if you're interested, otherwise i guess its up in the air on the brand and the shop you go with.

Ok, that's what I originally thought, reason being why I gave them to you for free. It's all good, carry on.
